Was coach at my school for a couple of years in the early 90s. Brilliant person.

So encouraging and infectious, had loads of time for everyone. Taught me to trap a high ball with my arse... a key skill!

Was really weird having a coach who knew what they were talking about rather than teachers/parents who just fancied giving it a go. Probably a bit different these days with everyone doing some coaching badges.

RIP Paul.
